"Mikel Is Moving In January" - Rohr

Nigeria Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr said Mikel is moving from Chelsea come this January Transfer window.

John Mikel Obi has not seen a game this season under Chelsea current manager, Antonio Conte. The Super Eagles captain admits he's spoken to Antonio Conte about his lack of game time so far this season.

Speaking to newsmen in London recently, Rohr said: “He cannot stay in a club he is not playing”

“He is moving come January transfer window. He cannot stay in a club he is not playing. So he has to move.”

Mikel has not played a game under Chelsea new manager, Antonio Conte.

Rohr said this shortly after a meeting with Nike officials in London in connection with Super Eagles official kits. The meeting was also attended by NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, Mikel Obi, Watford striker, Odion Ighalo and others.

He expressed delight at the sample of Eagles new kits presented by Nike, saying that they were “very professional”. He, however, said the Eagles New Jerseys should be light blue to ensure visibility of the players and light in texture in view of the hot weather in Africa.

The Super Eagles manager said he paid a “private” visit to Eagles goal keeper, Carl Ikeme in Wolverhampton to wish him a quick recovery from his injuries.
